Neres, Favasuli and Spinazzola back in partial team training from Saturday
Di Lorenzo and Lobotka are still working mainly in the gym and are not expected back until mid-December. Five of the eight players working apart from the squad are defenders.
Neres, Favasuli and Spinazzola will start training partly with the squad from Saturday 14 November. Until Friday's session, they stay with Di Lorenzo, Badiashile, Lobotka, Buongiorno and Alisson Santos on physiotherapy, reconditioning and individual work at the training centre. The rest of the squad is following personalised programmes during the international break.
The other five need longer. Di Lorenzo and Lobotka are still working mostly in the gym. Alisson Santos and Badiashile are on personalised programmes split between the gym and the pitch. Buongiorno is continuing rehabilitation after a meniscus operation and is due back in January. The schedule has Neres and Favasuli available for Torino, while the captain and Lobotka are expected back in mid-December.

Five of the eight are defenders, which is half the back line. Against Lazio, Allegri had only three recognised defenders on the pitch. Torino come to the Maradona on Saturday 21 November at 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET). Napoli are tenth on 15 points and have gone three games without a win. Training partly with the group is not the same as being ready to play. And the first home game since the supporters' protest will be played without the captain.
